<p>Over and above the comparison with Messi, Chhetri, who is 36, has passed him as the second-best global scorer among active competitors. &#8220;I see Messi&#8217;s videos when I&#8217;m unhappy, and when I meet him I&#8217;m going to tell him I&#8217;m a fan, offer him a beautiful handshake, and that&#8217;s all,&#8221; Chhetri stated in an interview with AIFF.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Christiano Ronaldo tops the list of most international goals of active football players. His total number of goals has been 103 with 174 caps. Indian football player Sunil Chhetri, gains the second position on the list, with a total number of goals of 74. The Indian Football Men&#8217;s Team Captain over took Messi and Mabkhout.</p>
<p>Mabkhout from United Arab Emirates scored 73 times following his goals against Malaysia last week, and Messi from Argentina earned his 72nd international goal against Chile last Thursday.</p>
<p>When UAE takes over Thailand, Indonesia and Vietnam next week, Mobkhout will have a possibility to be back in second position. On the 15th June India faced Afghanistan, Chhetri too might expand its lead.</p>
<p>Messi is going to be in action at the Copa America, beginning in Brazil on June 13.</p>
